Learning Journal Entry #1

What did I learn?- So far for this learning module I have learned a lot about the history of the Internet, from the past to the present. My slide show presentation was on Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn, two very influential men in Internet history.  Thus they have been dubbed "fathers of the Internet." In contrast to that I also learned about new advances in technology from the course cast of the week. 
I learned new terminology and different methods to connect to the internet from reading chapter 1 in the textbook.

I feel like I put a lot of effort into learning module 1. I was very interested in the course cast and did a lot of research on a tech item discussed. Also I liked the way mine and my partners group project turned out. Although I wish I had done a little better on the cyber lesson 1.
